Some really neat pictures

[Damkid]

i got these in an e-mail and thought i'd share




These are actually iceburgs!!





These pictures i guess were taken in the arctic where the tempuratures are so cold they froze these waves instantly when they broke through the ice and hit the cold air

I'm afraid that as a beautiful a sight as those are they are not frozen waves.
Those are compressed ice and snow that depending upon their composition/crystal structure are opaque or transparent.
Then just like what happens geologically, the various layers are folded, bent, thrust up over time by movement of the water or land beneath the layers then eroded to reveal what you see there!

Hey, it makes them no less beautiful for the fact that they are not waves!
Actually, it means that those "waves" are likely 100's if not thousands of years old isn't that more interesting in and of itself?
